CALIFORNIA Vital Records -
In 1858, the first statutory provision for the recording of births and deaths in
California was the Registration Act of 1858. It authorized the Governor to appoint a
State Registrar of Vital Statistics whose duties were to prepare and furnish to county
records suitable forms and books for the registration of births and deaths. This law was
repealed in 1860.
In 1869, a State Board of Health was created, but no specific provisions were made for the
general preservation of vital statistics until 1872.
In 1905, the first complete registration of births and deaths in the State was provided
for when the Legislature established the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The new laws
required the local county registrars of birth and death to deliver original birth
certificates to the State Registrar. This is when the state of California first started
keeping official copies of births and deaths on file. However, some counties have records
on file dating back to the late 1800s.
